OUR FOUNDER
My name is Aleesha Love
Founder & CEO of BenBetter Boys Corporation.
I created this organization after experiencing a heartbreaking personal loss when my sons lost their father to pancreatic cancer at 10 and 11 years old.
Watching my sons struggle through grief, and emptiness at such a young age, it opened my eyes to the emotional challenges, and the lack of resources many boys face after losing a parent.
My goal is to heal Our Boys, Our Communities, Our Future one heart at a time!
“A father’s influence does not end with his passing.
Through mentorship, community support, athletics, and positive guidance, boys can continue to grow, heal, and carry forward the values, strength, and legacy their fathers instilled in them.”
-Aleesha Love (Founder/CEO)
